Community Club Development Funding ECB has received £9.3 million over 3 years for Community Club Development Funding. All County Boards have been requested to nominate clubs on strict criteria which includes security of ground tenure, established development plans and community links, established junior sections, clubmark registration and many others. Based on the criteria YCB were able to nominate 83 clubs of which 22 have been selected by ECB and Sport England with two in reserve. This clubs will be able ( if they get through the remaining hurdles) to obtain funding with square renovation ,and natural turf or non-turf practice areas (with some building support in a few cases) The 22 clubs successful to date are: Barnsley, Beverley, Burley-in-Wharedale, Doncaster Town, Hornsea, Hunslet Nelson, Illingworth, Keighley, Kirkstall Educational, Knaresborough, Methley, Pool-in-Wharfedale, Pudsey Congs, Pudsey St Lawrence, Rotherham Town, Saltaire, Saltburn, Settle, Undercliffe, Upper Haugh, Woodlands and York. Reserves are Anston and Stamford Bridge, YCB is aware that many clubs could not fit the criteria and are also deserving cases and that almost 60 have been disappointed purely on an ECB prioritisation template which YCB has not seen. Such clubs may wish to apply for Awards for All schemes or the ECB pitch up date schemes |
